What the BLM Movement fails to understand and indeed many who support their ideologies or sympathise with them is you never change mindsets through browbeating, intimidation or labelling people. Their founders are self declared Marxists. It's questionable their motives. Black Lives Matter but some are saying All Lives matter. Some and I mean some then say the illegal immigrants boats should sink when coming to the UK. Clearly all lives dont matter then! Others say All Lives matter in frustration. Again a debate could be had around this but calling someone racist isn't the right way to go.

The argument is that All lives aren't at risk as much as Black Lives. I fully understand this but the Black Lives that are at risk the most are children dying of starvation and disease in African countries. Indeed slavery still exists including many forms for black people. I havent seen these issues mentioned and you could argue it is because that doesn't help the politics of the movement. Only Black people killed by police Officers seem to get the attention. I've absolutely no doubt the Police could perform better and that their performance, misconduct and manslaughter/murder needs high quality independent analysis. However they do get uneccessarry stick from people actively trying to catch them out in anyway they can. They protect and serve us and whilst we can ask for reform we must respect how well they do in many situations.

Wakefield displayed absolute courage doing what they did knowing some fans and the media would want to catch them out. I was proud of everyone because I know we aren't a racist team or club. Of course some people with racist agendas will tag on the back of it. But that doesn't mean it's wrong. If someone puts out a tweet or such like against child Grooming, you can't stop EDL supporters retweeting it. Doesn't make it wrong.

The players were sitting ducks and Sky and others should never have allowed that to happen. Utilising the governing bodies Anti-Racism policies was the way to go. T-shirts saying no to racism and a banner with the same where all players mixed in and stood behind it would have been great!

Back to the start here but if you want to change mindsets, help people be more empathetic about situations, the best way is through exchange of information in a pleasant way. Don't call people racist (Even if you think it) and provide information that helps the cement that holds their thoughts together to crack. If you want to see poetry in motion in respect of this, I suggest typing Daryl Davis infiltrates the KKK into a search engine and watch the video!
He's changed white supremacists thinking this way. Great watch if you've not seen it
